EENDRACHT PRIMARY SCHOOL

Through an integrated approach towards Youth Development, the Youth Development Forum (GTZ), Altus Sport, Karos & Kambro and Green Feet strive to inspire children to make responsible choices in their lives, to offer both relief and joy for today and hope for the future, providing the participants with self-confidence, critical thought and other valuable “tools” necessary for an overall healthy journey through life.
This pilot project seeks to present alternative options for combating problems such as teenage pregnancy, drug abuse and cultural intolerance by using the positive impact of sport, performing arts, creative art and environmental education as a way to foster social and human development, and to inspire the youth to actively participate in shaping their community.

CLOCKWORKS IN WINTERVELDT

Thabang Kganyago is one of the Facilitators that have been working for Green Feet since 2008. Previously unemployed, Thabang was given training in Environmental Education and Art and Craft, and now works at inspiring children in Mamelodi and Winterveldt townships. Here she is seen helping the children of a Winterveldt primary school during the ClockWorks project 2009 to make clocks out of waste material.

CLOCKWORKS in Winterveldt

During "launching days", Green Feet team members not only played environmental games with the grade 5 & 6 learners. As a treat at the end of the day, each child was given a fresh, crispy Green Apple (supplied by Faerie Dale Fresh Produce) which rewarded us with plenty broad smiles.
In the foreground with the kids is Emily Mpye, a Green Feet facilitator and Winterveldt resident.

The Result!

As an extra curricular activity, fifty children from each school were taught the craft techniques they would need to make a T-shirt out of wire, cover it with old newspaper and decorate it with waste material. Each school made eight T-shirts representing the flags of the countries participating in the Confederation Cup.
